Lots of Musical References Here, Still Great JF!.......2007-07-06

I love the title. For those who don't know, I'm OK You're OK was one of the first bestsellers in Pop psychology. So, what does the title of a book have to do with the music on this disc?

Who knows. Maybe Jason finished the album, then stepped back and saw that the songs are a union of pop music and lyrics that delve into people's minds and motives. Okay, maybe I'm getting too deep about this. One thing is certain: there's way more than sugar pop here. Jason's musical references are many, indicative of knowledge of where pop has been for the last 30 years.

The opening track (This Time) is glorious; you want to open the windows and let summer in, take a ride a convertible with the top down, or step out at night and just have a great time. It's funny, too, that "steppin' out" should come to mind. Think of Joe Jackson's brighter, poppier songs married to the production sheen of XTC. (9/10)

"NYC" sounds like a television theme song for a new network sitcom. (9/10)

"Stephanie Tells Me" reminds me of "The Plan" from 1999's Can You Still Feel album. (9/10)

"The Knew" sounds like a long-lost ELO track, while "Hurricane" reminds me of songs Beck has been writing lately. (7/10)

"Runaway"...now here's a real sleeper track; what a concoction this one is: it begins with a haunting synth line reminiscent of early Gary Numan and some jangly, Pink Floyd-style guitar work. Overall, it reminds me of Alan Parsons Project, but in a good way. (10/10)

"Komplicated Man" and "Contact" sound as if they were recorded as bonus tracks for Jason Falkner Fan Club members. I still really like them, though! If anyone's familiar with The Futureheads' new disc, News & Tributes, check out the chorus and "oh-oh's" on "Contact." I'm betting if you like News & Tributes, you'll like this song too. (8/10)

Not quite as Okay as i'd hoped for..........2007-06-03

It's been a long wait for the new Jason Falkner album, almost nine years since the wonderful "Can you still feel" album.
Unfortunately I think Falkner has had too long to stew over these songs & as a result there is not much freshness to them.
This combined with the fact that he produced the record himself in between many other projects, (Beck, Air, Magnet, Paul McCartney to name a few.) has resulted in a very flat sounding record.
There are a few nice tunes that jump out and provide the type of glorious hooks that we are used to with Falkner. Sadly these are few & far between as the record treads much safer territory than his previous efforts.
Having said that, it's still a great record in comparison to what a lot of his contemporaries are currently producing.
If JF can churn out his next record within eighteen months I expect stellar results!

Another Winner for Jason!.......2007-05-22

Jason Falkner delivers another winner with I'M OK YOU'RE OK. It's been a long wait since his last solo album, but certainly worth the wait. This album is way more than 'OK.' Probably the most prolific of the ex-Jellyfish-ers. Pure pop the way it's meant to be played. You won't be disappointed by this. Hopefully it will get an American release soon. The Japanese release has a nice bonus track. Way to go, Jason. Also check out TV EYES, the New Wave influenced project he did with Jellyfish founding member, Roger Joseph Manning Jr.

Stunning album..........2007-05-11

If you love Jason, you have to get this. It just might be his best album yet. It's worth ordering the Japanese version because there's no telling when the US version will come out, and the bonus track is great. How can one man be such a rock God???!!!

Pure Beauty.......2007-05-06

So very worth the wait, nothing to be disappointed in or let down by. Another piece of hooky power pop perfection......

In your face rock! Witty, fun, intelligent lyrics........1999-07-29

I'm OK... Your on fire kicks! This is in your face rock. The lyrics are some of the most witty, intelligent and funny of heard in a long time. They truly focus on some of today's most pointed issues with a demented twist of humor. It's also obvious right from the get go that these guys can play. The band is tight. They display a wide range of musical talent and style rarely found these days. These guys don't depend on techno gimmickry. They play it all. If your looking for a refreshing change of pace check out I'm OK... Your on fire. You won't be disappointed.

Interesting, eclectic sound, OUTSTANDING lyrics.......1999-07-29

P. Gauge's debut cd is great listening for anyone interested in something different. Their style is quite undefinable with a sound all their own and the lyrics are unlike anything you've heard before. I especially enjoy the horns and sometimes gritty lead singing. My favorite songs are "Astronaut Girl" and "Clint". I can't stop listening to this cd and wonder what P. Gauge will come up with next!
